My Mother could set up a home anywhere. She would just start setting up a kitchen and living room. Then she would set up the bedrooms. She can do this, seemingly, out of nothing. She has a tremendous love for homemaking and cleaning. I believe this has a lot to do with the basic foundation of housewifery.
There are daily tasks that must be accomplished. These are domestic occupations, and include:
1. Dishes.
2. Laundry.
3. Sweeping.
4. Washings counters, floors, sinks.
5. Dusting.
6. Making beds, putting away clothes.
7. Preparing Meals.
8. Setting up tables and chairs for the comfort of the family.
The heart of these occupations stems from a deep love of hospitality and wanting the family to be happy and comfortable. It is a servant's heart. If the housewife has the basic knowledge and heart for these tasks, she can make a beautiful home anywhere she lives.

Your Mom must be a very special person and I love that you have wonderful memories of her in that way. :) We have had to move a lot with my husband's job and I always start with the kitchen and getting all the beds ready and comfy for the first night. Then I work on the living area and the bedrooms to make them homey! I love doing these tasks and making my family feel loved and special. I fail but I always get back up again and keep going. God is so awesome to walk with us as we do these things as servants unto Him. Great post, thank you for sharing!

I am always taken aback by the ease of former housewives that made this sacred calling so very natural!
Inspiring post-including that beautiful picture!

Thank you for this post and sharing with us about your mother. What a splendid woman. It is a blessing to have had a great example of a homemaker from our mothers. Praise the Lord for them. I hope my daughter will one day look fondly on the way I kept our home as well. God bless your week.
